[quote=Anonymous]Easy. My kids are 7 & 11. I pay an after school sitter $20/hr to watch the kids, thats $250/week. A combo oc camps and sitters over the summer runs us at a minimum $600/wk. My kids do sports, that's a good 4k/yr and I'm probably shaving off a few thousand in hidden expenses. My 11yr old is in adult clothes and shoes and is growing like a weed. My grocery bills havr increased by at leasr $500/mo. We pay full adult price for just about everything now...amusement parks, plane tickets, movies, sporting events. When kids are little you can sit around the house with yiu thumb up yiur ass. Tonight my boys want us to all see Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Thats a $60 night right there. Oh and VA prepaid college? That's ~70k per child that has to be locked down by 9th grade . Yes, daycare costs of $2500/mo and itty bitty chrap chothes and some noodles and fruit for dinner were the good old days.[/quote]
